Always walk on the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk and you have to walk in the road, always walk FACING traffic, so you can see any car/bus/van that might go out of control.

Cross only at corners or marked crosswalks.

Safety tips for bicyclists:

Always wear a helmet

Obey traffic laws- ride on the right, stop at stop signs and red lights. Never ride against the flow of traffic.

Ride defensively - watch for doors to open on parked cars. Expect a car to pull out from a street or turn left in front of you.

Make yourself visible - cycling clothes are bright; wear them. Put reflectors on your wheels and on the front and rear of your bike. At night use a headlight and an active red light and reflector on the rear of your bike.

Maintain your bike - carry a pump, a patch kit and a spare tube

Safety tips for Parking Lot/Parking Garage:

Be aware. Look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat. Check under the car as well.

If you park next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door

Always take the elevator instead of the stairs

Carry a cell phone
